It doesn’t get much hotter than the EGG cookin’ in July! Make sure to keep yourself hydrated with a bit of whatever you’re using for the Beer Can Chicken. Ice Cream Sandwiches are also a great way to stay cool. Looking for some great ideas for a summer cook out? Try out a Pimento Cheeseburger or Dr. BBQ’s Spare Rib Surprise. Just don’t be surprised if your neighbors stop by for a quick bite when they smell what you’re cooking!

Say it ain't so with the Weber. Should switch out lump with something else and see if you are getting the same results. Wicked Good seems to be a fav around here. Even the local BBQ restraunt here in town uses Wicked in their outside smoker.

Could be moisture. The charcoal may have been damp when you bought it or gotten damp depending on where and how you store it. Depending on where you are located even some of this crazy weather that has been going around this summer may cause condensation that can dampen charcoal. You might try another bag from another source that was purchased just recently to see if that helps.

Ripnem - Been thinking about a MAPP torch anyway. I looked at the Benzomatic on Amazon and it says it can use propane gas too. Have you used with propane or do you really need to use MAPP to light effectively? If so, can you buy MAPP at any local hardware store/superstore?

I bought a pallet of WG w/a few neighbors and was really happy. One of my neighbors has never used anything but WG... Well, I am out now and have been using Royal Oak and some Cowboy and its been fine. The WG could occasionally be a little more tricky to start than the less dense stuff - I used my Bernzomatic MAPP torch and no prob..
